“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” – Mathew 10:28
As we sit here, it’s easy to feel fearful. To tell ourselves that we are doing the “right thing” by not defending Ukraine. We are telling ourselves that we are putting the safety of our young people and our country first. We told ourselves the same thing prior to WWII.
And yet because we waited, millions more suffered!
The question for many is which will bring more suffering? Would defending the people of Ukraine bring us into WWIII, or prevent it?
But the real question, is which action would serve God and our Souls better?
Is standing on the sidelines, basically doing nothing, the right thing? Is allowing innocent children to be brutally murdered the right thing? As we watch the blood cover the faces of these brave elderly grandparents, and do nothing to stop it, are we doing the right thing?
Courage comes from God and the strength to do the right thing also comes from God. The children in the Ukraine are just as loved by God as the children in America. Perhaps we need to ask God for the courage to do right by both!
